If you’re trying to get away from using bottled salad dressings, this is a good place to start.  Not only is it figure-friendly, but the ingredients are very simple.  You can add some dried herbs of your liking to “green” it up a bit more.  Consider adding some garlic powder and onion powder for a new dimension, as well.  This dressing also makes a great veggie dip.

3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup natural unflavored yogurt
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
A few fresh chives, chopped

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend well for about 30 seconds.

Pour the dressing into a glass jar or small airtight container and season with salt and pepper.

Toss with your choice of salad (this is ideal for coleslaw, but can also be used for other salads) and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives.
